26、. Yours, LiHua (答题时间:(答题时间:40 分钟)分钟) 一、阅读理解一、阅读理解 Body language is a language without spoken words and is therefore called non-verbal communication. We use body language all the time. For instance looking someone in the eyes means something different than not looking someone in the eyes. Body langua
27、ge is used especially to express feelings. For instance if we dont like someone, its often difficult to say that directly to the person. However, we can make it clear either intentionally or unintentionally through body language. The opposite is also true. People may give their true feelings away by
28、 not being aware of their body language. Research has shown that most people pay more attention to, and believe more readily, their impression of how a person acts through body language than whats said through words. Usually body language occurs unconsciously (无意识地). Yet the body language we use dec
29、ides to a large extent the quality of our communication. It follows that therefore it would be good to become conscious of our own and others body language. We can learn to use our body language for a purpose as well as learn to understand and interpret body language of others. Its important to note
30、 that body language has different meanings in different cultures. How we can interpret body language depends on the situation, the culture, the relationship we have with the person as well as the gender of the other. This means that there isnt one signal that has the same meaning all over the world.
31、 If you dont take this into account you may get yourself into some serious trouble! Body language is also interlinked (连接) with spoken language and a whole pattern of behave our from a person. As well as that, various body language signs can complement (补充) each other to make a particular meaning cr

Because people can communicate without using words. C. Because sometimes we cant express how we feel easily by words. D. Becaus
33、e body language makes the atmosphere more harmonious. 2. How can we judge a persons true feelings? A. By his unintentional spoken language. B. By his unintentional body language. C. By his intentional spoken language. D. By his intentional body language. 3. Why should we try to know more about the o
34、thers body language? A. To respond with body language. B. To make the other one feel confident. C. To make the communication go on smoothly. D. To make the unconscious communication meaningful. 4. When we interpret a kind of body language, we should remember_. A. different cultures present the same
35、meaning B. it has nothing to do with the spoken language C. it is only connected with the behave our patterns D. its signals have various meanings in different situations 5. Whats the main idea of the passage? A. People of different countries need friends to live better. B. Communication with body l

40、开头和结尾已经给出,不计入总词数)。 Dear Robert, Im glad to receive your email. Now I will tell you something about Chinese body language. _ _ _ _ _ Yours, Li Hua 一、1. C 考查细节理解。根据第二段中的前两句可知,为了使我们的意思表达清楚,我们 经常使用身势语。 2. B 考查细节理解。根据第二段中的People may give their true feelings away by not being aware of their body language可
41、知,无意识的身势语最能反映一个人的真实感情。 3. C 考查推理判断。根据第三段中的Yet the body language we use decides to a large extent the quality of our communication.可知, 身势语很大程度上决定着两个人之间交流的质量, 所 以为了能让交流更好地进行下去,就应该捕捉并且体会该身势语流露出的信息。故选 C。 4. D 考查细节理解。根据最后一段中的body language has different meanings in different cultures和depends on the situat
42、ion, the culture. . . 可知 D 项表述正确。 5. C 考查主旨大意。根据全文尤其是第一段中的We use body language all the time可知, 我们一直在使用身势语,也就是说每个人都会受身势语的影响,故选 C。 二、 6. embarrassing 考查形容词。 根据语境可知, 此处表示令人尴尬的经历, 故填 embarrassing, 表示“令人尴尬的”。 7. crossing 考查非谓语动词。 when 后面可跟非谓语动词形式。 cross 是动词, 意为“横穿”, 与主语 you 之间是逻辑上的主谓关系,故用现在分词形式。 8. confi
43、dently 考查副词。空处作状语修饰谓语动词 talk,故用副词形式。 9. friends 考查名词复数。make friends with.是固定短语,意为“与交朋友”。 10. a 考查冠词。空格后面的 event 意为“公开活动”,是可数名词; 此处表示泛指意义,故 要用不定冠词,又因 social 的发音以辅音音素开头,故用 a。 11. to learn 考查非谓语动词。 表示主语的特征或性质的形容词后面常用动词不定式的主动 形式来表示被动意义。故填 to learn。 12. communication 考查名词。由空前的 have good 和空后的 with 可知,此处应该
44、填所给 词的名词形式,且 communication 作“沟通”讲时是不可数名词,故填 communication。 13. what 考查名词性从句。be careful of 后面跟宾语从句,且从句中缺少修饰 topics 的定 语,故用连接代词 what。 14. with 考查介词。带着积极向上的答案和肢体语言,努力成为一个更好的倾听者。根据 语境可知,此处表示“带着”,故用介词 with。 15. and 考查并列连词。根据语境可知,空处前后为顺承关系,故此处为“祈使句+and+陈 述句”句式。祈使句表示条件, and 后的分句表示一种结果或推论。 三、 One possible v
45、ersion: Dear Robert, Im glad to receive your email. Now I will tell you something about Chinese body language. In China, we wave our hands to say “hello” or “good bye”. We usually greet our guests by shaking hands with them. Some people may nod and smile instead of shaking hands. When you are introd
46、uced to a Chinese group, they may greet you by clapping their hands. Like in many other countries, we nod our heads to say “yes” and shake our heads to say “no”. People will hold their thumbs up to praise a person, if he does something great. Sometimes, we bow to show great respect and thanks to others. I hope this information will be helpful to you. Yours, Li Hua
